Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture with a hard-faced, three word gesture
[Verse 2]
I started something, I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted, typical me, typical me
Typical me, I started something and now I'm not too sure
[Verse 3]
I grabbed you by the gilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And I doused another venture with a gesture that was absolutely vile
[Verse 4]
I started something, I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted, typical me, typical me
Typical me, I started something and now I'm not too sure
[Verse 5]
I grabbed you by the gilded beams
Uh, that's what tradition means
And now eighteen months hard-labor seems fair enough
[Verse 6]
I started something, I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted, typical me, typical me
Typical me, I started something and now I'm not too sure
[Verse 7]
I started something, I started something
Typical me, typical me, typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me, typical me, I started something
And now I'm not too sure
[Verse 8]
(Okay Stephen, do that again)
